I lucked into this today. Didnt know Elijah Craig had made a barrel proof rye. Apparently this is the first one. Im excited to try it one day. 12yrs for $87 is pretty decent price.

Came across one of these for $75. I leave for a hunting trip in the morning, so I’ll try it when I get back. Finishing up an Angel’s Envy rye tonight.

Recently (with friends/family) finished up an Elijah Craig BP 2024, Frey Ranch uncut, Dueling Grounds Linkumpinch repeal single barrel. Last night was Four Roses obsk, All were pretty good and I'd get again.

Always used to be Makers. It's been Buffalo Trace for a while now. I also like Basil Hayden. Love the Trace.

Last several bottles.
I might have posted this a couple pages ago but I cant remember.

Knob creek single barrel - from jim beam distillery - very good for the price. I am always pleased with 9 year old 120 proof knob creek. This bottle was at cask strength. Its new for knob to not proof down. I was very pleased with it.

Four Roses single barrel cask strenght OBSK reciepe - from four roses distillery - My favorite recipes from 4 roses are OBSK & OESK. Its amazing. Four roses is always solid.

Old forrester - from old forester distillery - Really solid rye. I was really happy with it. I dont care for old forester bourbon so I was a bit suprised. I crushed my 1/2 of that bottle.

Nashville barrel company rye - NDP (non distilling producer) juice is 95/5 rye from MGP. Its 11 year old rye. MGP knows how to make it. I always keep a couple bottle of MGP 95/5 in stock on my shelf. Its best when it is 10 years plus IMO

High west midwinters nights dram - High west is a distiller and a NDP. They mix their juice with MGP or canadian juice. I really like it. I have been fortunate enough to get one every year if I want it. I really like high west in general so there is that. They are one of the first to start finishing rye in port.

Found North Hell Diver first flight - Found North is a NDP but they age the barrels at their rickhouse and do the secondary finshing. I have neverr had a bad bottle of found north.

Bombergers - Michters distillery - Yearly release from michters. Its good. I like it. It can be hard to find. Its worth it at MSRP but not more. My only negative is I dont get much if any fruits.

Barrell 12 year french oak - NDP that buys and finishished barrels and blends final product. They are good at it. I have liked 90% of my barrel purchases. This one was great. I really like french oak finishing.

Old Fitzgerald - heaven hill distillery - I didnt love this. I didnt hate it. I drank 2 drinks neat and then mixed the rest of my half into coke zero. I like mixing wheaters into coke.

Beykes blue - NDP but sourced from green river distillery - It was amazing. I really like blue corn profile.

Found two of these hiding out on the store shelf earlier this year. Might finally crack one of them over the weekend.

Got a Bardstown Origin wheat, and Larceny barrel proof for my birthday. Both pretty good wheaters.

@Reburn how did you like the mid winter nights dram? I recall that being a great pour but it's been a few years since I last had one.

I really like it. I have been fortunate enough to get one every year if I want it. I really like high west in general so there is that. Some people poo poo it for price but I dont chose my booze or women by affordability.

Local store dropped their Chrismas barrel pics today. They are killing it lately on barrels.

Sipping on a Bulleit old fashioned tonight. As much really good bourbon as there is, I still always have a place for Bulleit.

Wild Turkey 101 8 year is new again for 2025. It's quite a bit different than Wild Turkey 101 that is supposedly 6-8 years. Fwiw, 101 was 8 year until the early 90s.

One of the local Missoula bars has a Bulleit barrel pick that I had last week and it was very impressive. I won't overlook Bulleit any more.

I just sold the last few “collectible” bottles I had. I’m only buying what I will drink going forward.

Meh.

Thats what I do.

I’ve done plenty of that do. I have 5 or 6 half empty bottles that are worth a pile relative to when I bought them. Pappy, Of, WE,,etc. Just not that interested in looking at them anymore. I’m doing nothing but drinking them going forward.

I liked collecting it, but really enjoy giving it away for conservation group fundraisers. This was a single event. I think that it raised some money for a good cause.

I've been drinking Basil Hayden alot recently. Really smooth. Great to drink by itself, neat or with a large rock and makes a GREAT old fashioned.

Why have them if you are not going to drink them; 100%!

Texas > Michigan for all hunting including that of bourbon…God Bless Texas and thank you to the careful Delta baggage handlers.
